Biography is a higher gossip.

Biography is a higher gossip.

Summary

This quote suggests that biography, while still focusing on the lives and experiences of individuals, reaches a higher level of engagement than mere gossip. While gossip tends to involve superficial details and rumors, biography delves deeper into the subject's journey, accomplishments, struggles, and impact on society. It provides a more comprehensive understanding of a person's life, making it more valuable and intellectually stimulating than idle gossip. In this sense, biography is considered a more refined and respectable form of storytelling.
